A reminder: the BBC His Dark Materials adaptation may be soul-splittingly mediocre, but Philip Pullman still seems like a cool dude.

I think the thing about Gad is, when he’s in family-friendly Disney mode, he comes across like a family-friendly plus-size jolly entertainer Disney built in a lab. I think he’s talented and has potential, but not if he sticks to this mode indefinitely, and without varying from it.

Better yet, for historical accuracy, dismantle said second car entirely, and give its parts back to the winner!

And, to quote my original reply, maybe if he’d done right by his wife and gotten a real job, life wouldn’t have gotten in the way.

Well, yeah, like I said, it was never the visuals that were the problem...

*looks around furtively* I actually kinda like the song myself. But it’s far too corny and secretary-rock for the show, no doubt about it. :P

Unless you’re watching more than one ep at a time, don’t skip any intro, ever. It’s part of the experience.

So, why didn’t they? And, if they both wanted to become parents, but one was infertile for whatever reason, why not become foster parents?

All the more reason for him to support his spouse by seeking more qualified, better-paying jobs rather than larking his life away passing out balloons.

Or “adopted did”?

I absolutely do. A reasonably intelligent person should not spend their whole professional lives merely selling ordinary balloons. Society requires more of us all.

Maybe if the guy had gotten a real job, he would have been able to take his wife traveling before they were old and gray.

Essential Rebels episodes: none (and I watched two seasons). No, not even that one with Obi-Wan. Just watch that one scene if you like. It’s okay.

Hey, now, watcher of the first season here. The first season (plus the first six eps of S2) were legitimately good, in their admittedly crazy way.

I’m so, so, so, so, sorry. That insidious privilege of mine!

I find your lack of hyperbolic deference to the perfection of The Last Jedi toxic, misogynistic, and borderline ethnocentristic. In short, you are being Problematic, at best. As we all know, The Last Jedi must be praised to the greatest extent possible every single io9 day, everything else in culture be damned.

It’s almost as if we should be encouraging our fellow liberals to become cops, or something. Because complaining from the outside doesn’t seem to be working too well...

BUT THEY’RE CLOSED

Season One, and they’re doing alternate universes already? Crikey.

Indeed. Well, here’s hoping he was taking a well-deserved break, and not wanting for work.
